India is the largest democracy in the world. The right to vote and more importantly the exercise of franchise by the eligible citizens is at the heart of every democracy.

We, the people, through this exercise of our right to vote, have the ultimate power to shape the destiny of country by electing our representatives who run the Government and take decisions for the growth, development and benefit of all the citizens.

The Election Commission of India has made voter identification mandatory at the time of the poll. The electors have to identify themselves with either the Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) issued by the Commission or any other documentary proof as prescribed by the Commission.

As an elector, you should immediately check whether your name has been included in the electoral roll of the constituency where you reside or not.

You can find out this information from the Electoral Registration Officer of your area. Electoral rolls in all major cities have now been displayed on official websites also.
